Seeing a few dead young bucks dead along the highway the last week or so. Does are running them off so they can have their new fawns. Junior now has to find new territory to roam without Mom and Sis's company.
Quote from above link:
"Another interesting fact about whitetail deer doe in the spring is that this is the time when she often kicks out young males who were born the year before. Usually young bucks stay with their mother until they are almost a year old, but during the spring they usually leave on their own or the females will drive them away.
On the other hand, young females often will stay with their mother for up to two years, and even then they usually stay in the same general area as their mother. However, once it is time for the doe to have a new litter of fawns, she often will return to her preferred fawning area in the spring, excluding the rest of her previous fawns from the area."
Kinda like that young buck the parents had to take him to court in NY to run him off. Eventually you got to get out on your own. Then you are so depressed you want to run in front of a car.
